1960 BMW R69 No longer available

Post navigation

This 1960 R69 BMW motorcycle has original matching numbers. It has been completely restored, from the ground up. The frame and swing arms were stripped, zinc primed, and powder coated and then scuffed with 300 grit paper and painted along with the sheet metal to make the color scheme of the bike totally consistent. Powder coat product is never the exact color of the final paint. The fenders and remaining sheet metal were media blasted and repaired, welded where needed, primed and BSAF paint was applied by David Sterns from Autopia. David has been restoring antique and classic automobiles for 30 years. Hand pinstriping was done by Mark Weld. All chrome parts were rechromed. Chroming and Cad Plating were done by Niagara Plating. Aluminum was professionally polished by Barnes polishing and Plating.

This R69 has been owned by me for a short time and has 1,640 miles on the speedometer. It has has been stored in a heated facility since I restored it and I have done all of the maintenance service.

Original and NOS parts were used where possible.
